Transitioning from Kindergarten to Primary School presents many challenges, especially for children with unique learning needs. The change in environment and increased academic demands can be stressful and confusing. It's a crucial time when the right support and understanding are essential to foster confidence and readiness in every child for their educational journey.

Terms & Conditions
Little Learners programs are highly tailored for each child and designed to be completed in their entirety for them to be truly effective. The classes are also intentionally small and facilitated by two specialists to build connections within the group and ensure success for each child. However, if you find the program is not the right fit for you or your child, a 50% refund is possible up to the 2nd session.
Following the 2nd session, no reimbursements will be provided for missed classes, and makeup sessions will not be available. Nevertheless, should class cancellations occur due to circumstances beyond our control, such as teacher illness, classes will be rescheduled. Makeup classes will adhere to the same weekly schedule, following official confirmation of the cancellation.
If you need to cancel your enrollment before classes commence, you will receive a full refund minus a 6% administrative fee.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, making it challenging for children to continue with their course. Should this happen, we encourage you to reach out to us. We will assess each situation individually and strive to find a solution, whether it involves adjusting the program to better suit your child’s needs or offering alternative services.
